Merge tag 'for-7.0/block-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

- Support for batch request processing for ublk, improving the
efficiency of the kernel/ublk server communication. This can yield
nice 7-12% performance improvements

- Support for integrity data for ublk

- Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of
selftests additions and updated

- Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the
block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with
bio splitting

- Series fixing a number of potential deadlocks in blk-mq related to
the queue usage counter and writeback throttling and rq-qos debugfs
handling

- Add an async_depth queue attribute, to resolve a performance
regression that's been around for a qhilw related to the scheduler
depth handling

- Only use task_work for IOPOLL completions on NVMe, if it is necessary
to do so. An earlier fix for an issue resulted in all these
completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions
were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that
ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use
task_work or not, and avoid it if possible.

- rnbd fixes:
- Fix refcount underflow in device unmap path
- Handle PREFLUSH and NOUNMAP flags properly in protocol
- Fix server-side bi_size for special IOs
- Zero response buffer before use
- Fix trace format for flags
- Add .release to rnbd_dev_ktype

- MD pull requests via Yu Kuai
- Fix raid5_run() to return error when log_init() fails
- Fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap
- Fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout in llbitmap
- Fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in process_metadata_update
- Fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid
- Fix any_working flag handling in raid10_sync_request
- Refactor sync/recovery code path, improve error handling for
badblocks, and remove unused recovery_disabled field
- Consolidate mddev boolean fields into mddev_flags
- Use mempool to allocate stripe_request_ctx and make sure
max_sectors is not less than io_opt in raid5
- Fix return value of mddev_trylock
- Fix memory leak in raid1_run()
- Add Li Nan as mdraid reviewer

- Move phys_vec definitions to the kernel types, mostly in preparation
for some VFIO and RDMA changes

- Improve the speed for secure erase for some devices

- Various little rust updates

- Various other minor fixes, improvements, and cleanups

blk-rq-qos: fix possible debugfs_mutex deadlock

Currently rq-qos debugfs entries are created from rq_qos_add(), while
rq_qos_add() can be called while queue is still frozen. This can
deadlock because creating new entries can trigger fs reclaim.

Fix this problem by delaying creating rq-qos debugfs entries after queue
is unfrozen.

- For wbt, 1) it can be initialized by default, fix it by calling new
helper after wbt_init() from wbt_init_enable_default(); 2) it can be
initialized by sysfs, fix it by calling new helper after queue is
unfrozen from wbt_set_lat().
- For iocost and iolatency, they can only be initialized by blkcg
configuration, however, they don't have debugfs entries for now, hence
they are not handled yet.

Merge patch series "ns: support file handles"

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:

For a while now we have supported file handles for pidfds. This has
proven to be very useful.

Extend the concept to cover namespaces as well. After this patchset it
is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the
commong name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.

Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace
based on a pidfd already.

It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them.

Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.

Both the network namespace and the mount namespace already have an
associated cookie that isn't recycled and is fully exposed to userspace.
Move this into ns_common and use the same id space for all namespaces so
they can trivially and reliably be compared.

There's more coming based on the iterator infrastructure but the series
is large enough and focuses on file handles.

Extensive selftests included.
